We had another great stay in the cabins here! We were able to walk some of the trails on the property and were very happy with all the amenities in our cabin. This is a perfect spot for when we travel to the Wilmington area, but want to be out of the city. Love that the cabins are dog friendly too!

Weekend Trip to In the Pines RV and Cabin Village
We had a great stay in cabin 8! It was nice and warm on a chilly day, and had everything we needed. Beds were very comfortable and the space was very clean and decorated beautifully. This was a short trip, so we weren’t able to explore the property and amenities, but hope to return again soon and bring our dog!

We loved staying in Jewel’s cabin! We had an amazing time fishing enjoying the peace and quiet over looking the pond. We enjoyed waking up and having coffee on the screened in porch. Julie was an amazing host and kept us up to date on everything and answered all our questions and needs. We will definitely be coming back and recommending this place!

The cabin was in perfect condition and the amenities were super fun. My family and I (husband, 15 year old son, 3 month old, and two dogs) had such a great time. We need a local escape where we could "glamp", get away from technology, and make hot dogs + roast marshmallows over the fire. Pines RV & Cabin Village has everything we needed.
My husband is not a traditional camper, and I grew up camping quite often-- & "camped" in the Marine Corps-- so we settled for a glamping cabin. I booked the Deluxe Loft Cabin; #6 and we comfortably fit all four of us plus the Great Dane and pit bull mix. The pool, dog park, front office store, and amenities had him sold.
The place is pretty new. Quite a few lots were booked though. Many upscale RVs, some cabins were booked (but not all), and everyone adhering to the policies. Seems like a very polite and respectful place.
I would 100% book again.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary Farm
Words can’t express how wonderful their campsite is! The cabins have comfortable beds, there is everything and anything you would need to stay for a weekend or longer. All you need to bring is food , whatever comfort items you personally want. They have everything! They have grills, fishing equipment, kayaks, life vest, firewood, power to charge phones, bug spray, fans, grilling/ cooking equipment. This is a once in a lifetime place. It is such an amazing special place, tucked back in the woods next to a creek with plenty of shade, chairs , fire rings , shower , camp toilets, dock to fish off of. Plenty of catfish, bowfin, bluegill, bass to find. Each cabin is slightly bigger than the bed , it has solar powered lights that also can charge your phone. Private camp toilets, shower that is from the creek water , and the peace and quiet is unimaginable. James and Sola are amazing people, the nicest people you will find. Anything you need they are there to help. Their farm is a sanctuary that they tend to with animals that are kid safe , chickens, horses, goats and many more. The pride and love they have for their property for your camping adventure is worth every second you are there and every penny. Perfect for romantic spot, a getaway, mental health, whatever your reason is this is the place for you. HIGHLY recommend. The solitude and experience is unbelievable. Message them for any questions and they are quick to help.
James and Sola , thank you again! I wish yall the best

James and Sola were very nice and welcoming! We stayed at Lokis lookout and enjoyed the serenity! Feeding the animals was a nice welcome to the property, and a great way to start off a quiet camping weekend. We found it super convenient that there was lots of camping equipment for cooking that was made available!
